Motivation is one of the biggest factors influencing whether students do well in school. You can have a high IQ and be really intelligent but without the motivation to succeed in school, you may not actually succeed.
I am motivated to learn by my parents who are very supportive of me. I am also motivated in certain classes by my teachers. Although I want to succeed in all my classes, regardless of the teacher, having an outgoing, charismatic teacher makes my motivation soar. When a teacher shows they are enthusiastic about the subject, and compassionate about their students, I get a feeling of intense motivation. Why would I want to let down a teacher who tries so hard?
And also, giving my all to a class full of life will probably only mean I will enjoy that class that much more and also walk away with a sense of accomplishment. That sense of accomplishment is also what motivates me for the future. For example, math is not a strong subject for me, nor my favorite, but with a teacher who motivates me by believing in me and helping me, by the end of the year I see my accomplishment and are much more motivated for future math classes.
